An observation we have in FHM HQ: Every year, some of those who get in the list haven’t even posed for the magazine yet—a select few who made it in the elite top 20!

So here we present the 9 ladies who have cracked the top 20 in the last two years, but are, so far, still holding out on us. Consider this, another form of panliligaw.

Heart EvangelistaPlaced 19th in 2009 list

She used to be just another pretty chinita, but as the years passed, she’s proven that she just might be the hottest chinita of them all. She’s also proven to be quite the hard catch for us. But no bother, we’re more than willing to wait.

How many times have we passed by her billboards in EDSA, and failed to reaffix our gaze on the road? It’s definitely out of the question that Maja is more than worthy of her very own FHM cover. The nation awaits.

She’s the classic beautiful mestiza, and as you know, we Filipinos have always had a soft spot in our hearts for them. If you should know, Bea also has a reserved spot on the FHM cover already.

Iya VillaniaPlaced 15th in 2009 list

The Fil-Australian celebrity doesn’t get tongue-tied when speaking in Filipino as much as before, but we reckon, men speaking to her still do! How much more if she were to be our covergirl? We’re sure she’ll leave us speechless.
